> But remember, by donating, you are not supporting a project. You are not providing funds to a well defined organization. And you are not entitled to technical support. You are simply bank-rolling an individual. Someone who, at will, on their own volition, may abandon the project, inject malicious commits deep into the commit log, or outright sell their GitHub account to nefarious third parties.

Companies do not always give technical support, and if they do it could be ended at any time. They could at any time abandon the product, maliciously change the source code, or outright sell their product or company to another company.
